May be it is true, Thailand want to drain Cambodian ammunition and to break the morale and spirit of the Cambodian soldiers. But we must fight hard and acquire more heavy weapons like BM-21 rocket launchers.

Must capture or kill Thais invaders and send to Cambodia marshal court or military court, and push further to take control over the border of French indochinese-siem of 1904 and 1907.

Must destroy Thais base and bunkers before make negotiation, this time must be government to government only.

Don't capture any Thai soldiers alive, just kill them all. If any Thai soldier was captured, they should not be released again. Cambodian troops should begin to advance to capture Thai positions too. Enter their territory and occupy it if need be and use it as a bargaining chip.

plenty of ammos just by capturing from the thai. I also agree don't release the prisoner. kill them or sent to marshall military courts. prisoner of war my be treated like one.

You can't trust the Thais for whatever they so-called negotiate with the Khmers, whether cease fire or any other concessions simply because the one who is supposed to be in charge is not the real man.
So whatever he says can be contradicted by someone else.
Besides, the Thai root of the problem lies with their King's succession and their divided Royal Family. So long this topic is not settled, Khmers will always be dragged into their political mess. So they need badly divertion to detract attention to their own internal woes.

Diplomacy is dead!!! Diplomachine guns barrel is ON!!! Night time fight with Khmers? you're all done dude. This is not urban warfare against the RED Shirt this is guerrilla jungle warfare. These Khmer soldiers can see and hear at night like a Leopard.

Thai and Thai quarrelling each other for power,Cambodia losing land?


Most of the fighting are occurred in Khmer land if you see the map.I can not understand why,the Hanoi's puppet allowed Thai to occupied 4.6 Km2 and have right to contest for this disputed area in the the first place.
so far,Cambodia is a loser, in term of negotiating and talking about this area to be free of military zone from both side.It means that Thailand have successfully created a legal claim,which is a total of pure politics of spin and twist logic of the PAD leaders and its fanatics followers.
Your stars( on your solders) means nothing,if you fail to defend your ancestral land. You are going to regret and feel shame if you are a man responsible for this historic battles.It is your personal dignity and national dignity. Do not die in old age and can not move around ,but we all should die for righteousness and dignity for our nation and people.
May I pray for the bravery and the self-sacrifice of Khmer commanders and soldiers,who are facing the Thai invaders in the battle field,that they will be protected by God.

this round of fighting, might cause from Cambodia refuse to hand over one thai soldier captured yesterday and send him to Phnom Penh.

I want to tell Soy Sopheap to cold thing down before it is out of control. The widespread war might erupt between the two countries.

1:16 AM, I don't think so because Abhisit said no Thai soldier went missing. I think the Thai want Cambodia to surrender the 4.6 sq km of land to them, including area where Wat Keo Sikha Kir Savarak. We must not surrender anything, we must fight to the death and take the matter to UN and world court. Don't get hypnotized with Thai sweet talk again, just kill the bastard Thais!

As human being, please learn from American soldier model, don't kill any captured Thai soldier, but don't hand-over them to Thai for nothing. Keep and send them to Phnom Penh for complain proof to international communities. I agree with others to take this opportunity to take control over all of 4.6 Sq.Km which legally belong to Cambodia. Bravo Cambodia Soldier!

Khmer are suffered enough with war. We dont want war but stupid Siem has imposed a war on us. Most Khmer in Cambodia and in a broad are angered at Siem but Sam Rainsy and his party are happy because if Siem troops can bring down Khmer government, Siem government will appoint Sam Rainsy as its puppet government in Phnom Penh. Becare SRP supporters they are spy from Khmer troops and send it to Bangkok.

Simple trick cannot kill Cambodian soldier's moral. We've been through tougher condition than today and tomorrow. Thai is plotting the Cambodian position right now while awaiting for the big bang, which they will bring in their Air Force. Be prepared Khmer soldiers, your former king that built the temples is watching over you and your family right now. Be brave and bring them down one at a time and be patience with your trigger. You will have your chances. Wish you the best and success in this mission. Protect what's ours and don't lose not an inch to the Thai ever again. Next will be VN.
